I didn't cut mine only because I knew as soon as I do I would want them for something.

There's nothing that says you have to cut them off at the top. I cut mine off at the end of the covered part of the cable and if I find a reason to use the data wires, I only need to cut the cover back a few more inches.

"Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) is an amateur radio-based system for real time tactical digital communications of information of immediate value in the local area.[1] In addition, all such data is ingested into the APRS Internet system (APRS-IS) and distributed globally for ubiquitous and immediate access. Along with messages, alerts, announcements and bulletins, the most visible aspect of APRS is its map display. Anyone may place any object or information on his or her map, and it is distributed to all maps of all users in the local RF network or monitoring the area via the Internet. Any station, radio or object that has an attached GPS is automatically tracked. Other prominent map features are weather stations, alerts and objects and other map-related amateur radio volunteer activities including Search and Rescue and signal direction finding."

so the montana can do all this yet garmin thinks that it is a handheld,hiking gps.I assume this is why they only allow 50 via points instead of the 10000 for a nuvi(/zumo?).In my seaches for motorcycle gps the montana never appears

I searched this thread and a few other places. The Montana manual does not contain the word "detour". Am I correct that when following a route with the Montana, that there is no provision for adding the kind of distance or street detour that some of the more street-oriented GPS units allow?
